: Is it mandatory in the US to present the publisher's information on websites? In Germany it is (under certain circumstances) legally necessary to link to a page displaying the publisher's information

In Germany it is (under certain circumstances) legally necessary to link to a page displaying the publisher's information of a website. This includes name, address, telephone number and email address.

Does such a legal necessity exist in the United States? If so, does it only apply for commercial websites?

No requirement at all. (land of the free and all that) However, if you are conducting business, then you need to establish trust. One way is to create a well formatted and marked up about page, a privacy policy page, and having the address and phone number in the footer or header of each page. It also helps with locale search and branding.
